Paul says the government should have restrictions to use drones on citizens, except to patrol national borders, when drones are needed to prevent “imminent danger to life,” or when there are risks of a terrorist attack.

“Like other tools used to collect information in law enforcement, in order to use drones a warrant needs to be issued,” he says. “Americans going about their everyday lives should not be treated like criminals or terrorists and have their rights infringed upon by military tactics.”

By 2015, the Federal Aviation Administration will be allowed to use drones as escorts for commercial aircrafts over U.S. airspace. The agency has also announced it is testing unmanned aerial vehicles in six locations, but will not set the rules for what those drones can be used for.
